The data generated by the AQI to Cigarette Calculator is for educational and informational purposes only. This calculator is intended to provide an estimate of how air quality exposure compares to smoking cigarettes based on studies generally cited for these comparisons. The data generated by this calculator is an estimate, not an exact or scientifically accurate conclusion.
This is not an estimate of real-world smoking, overall harm to health, or individual risk. How individual risks from air pollution can vary quite widely is not known until considerations are taken into account of how long an individual was exposed to the region, individual health problems, and so forth. This result is only meant to be used as an educational tool.
The AQI to Cigarette Calculator cannot and should not replace medical consultations and treatment. When it comes to health concerns associated with air pollutants and smoking, it is imperative to consult health and environmental experts.
